Give them a little pinch on one end and lay them over a former, which in this case is a half egg chocolate mold sheet.

You will build your flower inside the half sphere candy mold. Put a disc of yellow gumpaste in the bottom and poke a hole through the center with a wire. Poke holes through the center of the sphere molds as well.

Attach three petals with water or gum glue when they are firm enough to hold their shape.

Insert the stamen wire through the holes and attach the base of it to the petals with a very light dab of water or gum glue.

Use cotton (if food safe) or paper towels to prop the petals up.

Here is a whole sheet drying at once.

You want the inner three petals to be tight around the center stamen. Allow this to dry fully.

When the first portion is dry, make another set of three petals with the larger petal cutter and vein. When those are firm enough, hold the partially made flower upside down and glue 3 more petals on in another row. (This step was not shown). You can dry the flowers upside down at this point, or you can put them back in the formers. I used paper collars to hold the outer petals at just the degree of openness I wanted.

Allow those to dry fully and give them a light dusting with the shade of yellow petal dust you desire. A very light puff of super pearl can be applied also for a little sheen.

Wrap your wires in floral tape, and then tie them up in a pretty satin ribbon.
